hi all, firstly hope everyone is keeping ok , ok ive just gone and bought my first compressor it's a hydrovane 501 it was cheapxas said need bit off tlc so i went in blind and bought it , much to my horror when it arrived it was in much worse condition then stated and guy has blocked me so cant get in touch so im stuck with it, ok said it worked ok and yes can switch it on but there is no on/off button on the compressor it has been well to put it politely "bodged to feck " it was joined with tape an shoved behind where the switch should be and then wired direct to the plug so i used my head and switched it on lol, it seems to run ok and fills up and stops and turns back on when pressure is low so that's one good thing u guess, my concern is there is a red wire coming from the vane side which is not connected to anything what is this for ? can i get a simple on off switch to make good on the taped connection? ive not used it yet only to do a quick test and really want to get it wired correctly and make sure its not going to go bang on me , look forward to some advice and will post a picture once i work out how to do it , thanks
